NOIDA (near New Delhi): Mr Neeraj Goel, a Project Manager at the FCS Software Solutions Ltd, a Noida-based IT applications company, has been appointed as a judge for the prestigious 7th Brandon-Hall Excellence in e-Learning Awards, 2004. The awards are presented by Brandon-Hall.com, one of the e-learning industry's leading research and consulting firms based in the US.

"FCS takes great pride in its competent workforce," says Mr Dalip Kumar, MD, FCS Software Solutions Ltd. "The selection of an FCS colleague as a Brandon-Hall judge is indicative of the level of endeavors that we at FCS have been making in the e-learning world."

Mr Goel has been nominated to judge the "Full Course" category, which encompasses 'Media', 'Interactivity' and 'Interactive Simulation'.

For a major part of his over 8-year-long career, Mr Goel taught at various web-design centers of learning in New Delhi. During his teaching days, he introduced the 'element of fun-filled ease' into learning, so that students could grasp the fundamentals easily. Says he: "I am basically a trainer; I try to introduce my practical experience of teaching into direct learning, reinforced learning. The job here at FCS is tough, since the user is virtually present before you, constantly watching over your shoulders; and in this backdrop the challenge lies in transforming instructor-led training into online, self-paced and user-driven e-learning programs."

Mr Goel attributes his expertise to the truly world-class e-learning setup at FCS, which caters to the critical needs of several global giants (including many Fortune 500 companies). "It helps us fine tune our skills and expertise in keeping with the needs of our international clientele," says he.

Mr Vineet Narang, VP (Strategic Planning and Business Development) at FCS, who heads the Offshore Solutions Group (OSG) of the company, agrees: "The most inspiring thing about FCS e-Learning Division is its workforce expertise which enables us to take up any critical innovative project in e-learning from a global clientele. With Sabina Rahman, a nationally acclaimed e-learning expert as our Creative Head, FCS is set to scale newer and newer heights in this field."
